To play the role of Jade Owen we chose Hannah Watson. Hannah is an A-level drama student and achieved high grades in her GCSE drama exam. We chose to use Hannah because she is one of our good friends and she can adapt into different roles regardless of who is around her or where she is. Which is a good quality seeing as she did not mind that people where staring at her when we filmed the train station sequence at Hampton wick station. She was also very professional when it came to filming at both locations and she got involved and shared her ideas as to where the camera should be which was very helpful and fun.
JADE OWEN
The character Jade Owen is a troubled 16 year old who has overcome many problems in her past such as her mum dying and her dad falling into a deep stage of depression and alchaholism. Up to now Jade has stayed at the family home with her sister Emily (12 years) however her dads depression is increasingly getting worse and as he takes it out on her she feels the need to run away and start a new life .. leaving behind he young sister Emily. Jade is a delicate character but she also knows how to stick up for herself as she is very streetwise. However she tends to often get involved with the wrong people which lead her into more trouble. Throughout her journey she has a deep feeling of guilt for leaving her sister at home with her dad. Another increasing feeling of hers is loneliness which she tries to overcome during the film.
